Message of the Prophets: A Survey of the Prophetic and Apocalyptic Books of the Old Testament
by J. Daniel Hays Tremper LongmanChristians sometimes approach the Old Testament with a mixture of awe and bewilderment, knowing that it contains pearls of wisdom, but unsure how to dive for them . . . especially when it comes to the Prophets. In The Message of the Prophets, author J. Daniel Hays offers a scholarly, yet readable and student-friendly survey of the Old Testament prophetic literature that presents the message of each prophet in its historical and its biblical context and then tracks that message through the New Testament to challenge readers with what it means for them today. Hays focuses on synthesizing the message of the prophets, which enables students to grasp the major contours of the prophetic books clearly and concisely. Hundreds of colorful pictures help to illustrate the historical and cultural background of the prophets. After identifying what the message meant for ancient Israel, Hays helps the readers to move toward theological application today, helping readers to gain a better understanding of God and the relationship between God and his people. The Message of the Prophets is essential for professors, students, and others seeking to understand the role that the OT prophets play in the Christian faith.

Accounting Information Systems: A Practitioner Emphasis
by Cynthia Heagy Constance LehmannMany AIS textbooks do not explain the basic structure of an entire accounting information system. When students finish this textbook, they will really understand an accounting system. Some books focus more on technology topics than basic accounting system topics. Few accounting graduates will apply for jobs to build databases. Most will be users, auditors, and implementers of accounting systems and need to understand how accounting software works. As a result, this book has a practitioner emphasis, not a systems development emphasis as do many accounting textbooks. Intended to meet the needs of a first course in accounting information systems at either the undergraduate or graduate level, this textbook may also be used as a review text in second or subsequent courses in this area.
